Red Hat 8.1 - Manual (Page 153)

Chapter 4. Server Instance File Reference
This chapter provides an overview of the files that are specific to an instance of Red Hat Directory
Server (Directory Server) — the files stored in the /etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name directory.
[ ]
Having an overview of the files and configuration information stored in each instance of Directory Server
helps with understanding the file changes (or lack of file changes) which occur in the course of directory
activity. It can also help to detect errors and intrusion by indicating what kind of changes to expect and,
as a result, what changes are abnormal.
4.1. Overview of Directory Server Files
NOTE
In examples and sample code, paths assume that the Directory Server is installed in on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5 (32-bit), which has an instance directory of
/etc/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name. If the Directory Server in a different platform, adjust the
paths accordingly.
The files, tools, and scripts used by Directory Server are in the locations listed in the following
directories.
